第两千三百一十三章 魔族大统领的弟弟

The snake's eyes were filled with confusion and a hint of envy. @ShuMenXiaoShuo, .com

Her emotions could be understood. Although the True Demon Primordial Ancestor was far more powerful than most Holy Ancestors, being able to earn such an honorable title as "Holy Ancestor" meant she had at least entered the Tribulation Transcending Realm.

The Tribulation Transcending Realm was the final realm in cultivation; once one stepped into it, even if their cultivation could no longer advance, their longevity would be astonishing. Living for a million years or more was easy. A great cultivator like Elder Realman Nai Long had experienced the Two Worlds War millions of years ago and lived for countless eons.

In any case, the existence of Tribulation Transcending Realm beings, although not immortal, were so long-lived that they were practically synonymous with eternal life in the eyes of ordinary cultivators. Moreover, their strength was beyond comprehension; a peak Shen State cultivator might not even be able to defeat an early-stage Tribulation Transcending Realm entity.

Of course, this "entity" referred to something more than just a fragment of soul like Lin Xuan had encountered—a carefully crafted body by a Tribulation Transcending Realm elder. But regardless, being unable to defeat such an entity showed the vast gap between them and peak Shen State cultivators.

Thus, only those who could advance to the Tribulation Transcending Realm could truly be called Holy Ancestors. Despite the vastness of Demon World and its accumulation over millions of years, the number of Holy Ancestors was still limited. One in every ten thousand Demon World inhabitants might become a demon cultivator, but among hundreds of billions or even trillions of ancient demons, only by chance could one become a Holy Ancestor.

Therefore, each Holy Ancestor was a marvel. "No wonder Sister didn't receive any news despite the significant event," the Ice Soul Holy Ancestor muttered to herself before turning to ask, "Sister, is it possible for you to see guests?"

"Master instructed that I not be disturbed under normal circumstances, but since you are the esteemed Lady Snake, this is an exception." The scholar-robed cultivator replied calmly on the surface but was internally in turmoil. Could something so significant as a new Two Worlds War have occurred?

A black light shot out from his fingertips and disappeared into the sky.

"Ah, Sister still practices within that alternate space?" Ice Soul's eyes narrowed slightly, her tone utterly indifferent.

Tian Yuan did not respond. After just over ten breaths, the air several feet in front of them suddenly fluctuated without warning. A hand appeared seemingly out of thin air—long and graceful with delicate fingers that seemed incapable of lifting even a chicken. Yet, as it waved and tugged at the void, an impossible scene unfolded; she tore through the space as if eating or sleeping were no more challenging.

Footsteps echoed in their ears as a beautiful young woman emerged from the void. She had silver hair and appeared identical to a human maiden except for her hair color. Despite her breathtaking beauty, there was not a trace of mana on her body, making her seem like an ordinary mortal girl, barefoot and pitifully vulnerable.

Who would have known that this seemingly weak girl was none other than the Ice Soul Holy Ancestor, feared by countless Celestial Realm greats?

One could never judge someone by their appearance; the depth of the sea could not be measured. For Ice Soul, it was a testament to her true nature.

"I bow before you."

Tian Yuan intended to kneel but Ice Soul would not allow him to do so, gently lifting his hand with a gesture.

"Snake Sister, why have you come to my palace? What significant matter has occurred?" Ice Soul's voice was as melodious as a yellow thrush emerging from the valley, yet it carried an icy edge that seemed to chill one’s soul.

"If there were no urgent matters, I would not leave my Snake Palace. Sister should know; the seal on Three Eyes has loosened, and he has escaped."

"What?"

Ice Soul's face turned pale: "You say Three Eyes has escaped?"

Tian Yuan heard every word clearly. The name was familiar—Three Eyes, the Holy Ancestor who had been personally sealed by the Grand Commander millions of years ago? This Holy Ancestor’s origins were no small matter; legend said he ranked among the nine True Demon Primordial Ancestors and was even the younger brother of their Grand Commander. For reasons unknown, he angered his elder brother, who personally sealed him away.

"Has Three Eyes truly broken free from the seal? That makes sense," Ice Soul combed her hair. "Sister need not worry; Three Eyes has never been friendly to us. If he recovers his strength, our sisters and I will have no choice but to face serious trouble."

"Sister is not worried?"

"Of course not; this is a good thing."

"A good thing?"

Both Snake Sister and Tian Yuan exchanged glances before the scholar-robed cultivator spoke hesitantly: "Sister, my foolishness. Please enlighten me."

"Snake Sister, how wise you are to suddenly become so foolish. Three Eyes is someone we all wish to deal with, but the Celestial Realm is too vast. The Grand Commander’s seal has a hidden effect, making it impossible for us to find his whereabouts and eliminate him. Now that he has broken free, isn’t this an opportunity?"

"Sister means..."

Snake Sister was not stupid; she just hadn't thought as deeply as Ice Soul.

"Indeed, although Three Eyes was sealed, the cage also served as a sanctuary. We would have long destroyed him if it weren’t for that. But now that he has escaped, since he is out and about, his movements will eventually be exposed. After all, after being sealed for so long, do you think he still retains his former power?"

"I agree with Sister; Three Eyes made a grave mistake in the past. Although the Grand Commander spared him, his body was destroyed, and he has been sealed for millions of years. The old monster won’t die from this, but his strength will surely be greatly diminished. However..."

"However what?"

"We must prevent him from possessing another body. Even though Three Eyes is no longer as formidable, a feathered phoenix in decline is still better than a chicken. But his foundation remains intact; if we can possess an appropriate demon body..." Snake Sister's voice turned cold.

"Hmph, you worry too much," Ice Soul replied with obvious disapproval.

"Worry?"

"Indeed, you should know that Three Eyes and the Grand Commander are not only brothers but also share the same magical arts."

"This I understand; they practice the Nine Devastating True Demon Technique, our realm’s top secret art." Snake Sister's face showed a hint of envy. Clearly, this technique was one level above her own.

"That is correct. Three Eyes might find an appropriate body to possess, but restoring his former power will not be easy," Ice Soul said with a cold smile, implying something more.

"Then I understand; the Nine Devastating True Demon Technique requires a body with five elemental roots... "
